Have you been constipated, recently had intercourse, or had a UTI or other infection? It's not unheard of spot during pregnancy, I've bled with all of my pregnancies for different reasons. Don't worry OP.

Try to take it easy, spotting can be normal during pregnancy. If there was an issue they probably would have more then likely seen it when you were at the ER. I have had spotting off and on this pregnancy and currently 13w, as long as you are not having period like cramps and not passing clots you should be fine.

When I was constipated with LO3, I had spotting. Nothing major, but it freaked me out. I called my OB and he told me that if it's a little bit of spotting, then don't worry too much about it. If it turns heavier and red, then head to his office ASAP.
It never turned red, just a rusty brown color. I started taking stool softners and it helped a lot. Then, thankfully the constipation went ahead way....

I have been spotting for almost a month now, every single time I wipe(nothing dripping or anything) every time I get an US baby is doing good with strong HB(I thank God), I then had to literally request and persisted to get a culture taken and sure enough it came back with BV and have to get metronidazole gel, hopefully the spotting stops soon as I completed treatment, it subsided for two days then I was so constipated yesterday I saw red blood after a BM, oh I know how scary it is op but take it easy till it stops, I remain on pelvic rest for the past month and I'm only 12w 4d, so hubby has a long way to go(haha) as long as baby is doing fine we can survive
